Palmdale Drive and Neighborhood Speeding & Cut-Through Traffic

Residents on Aegean Avenue and Waterway Lane report speeding and non-compliant stop behavior, but federal warrant data — speeds and volumes — fell short on both streets, and the town still lacks a policy for speed humps, which the highway department opposes for snow removal.

What it means: Residents of affected neighborhoods seeking slower, safer streets.

High Park/Main Street right-turn-on-red sight distance

A resident reports cars creeping past the stop bar can't see Main Street traffic because of a brick wall, trees and a curve. The town can't act on a state road, so it referred the issue to NYSDOT.

What it means: Drivers and pedestrians at the High Park/Main Street intersection.

Pedestrian crossing for Casey Middle School students

Kids walking from Laurel Lane and Emerald Trail to Casey Middle School have no controlled crossing of Casey Road and must detour 375 feet east to Young's Road, which lacks crosswalk striping and ADA ramps. The board's unanimous support sends the request to Erie County, which owns the road.

What it means: Families and schoolchildren walking to Casey Middle School.

Unbuilt Auden Apartments trailway crossing on North Forest Road

The approved site plan promised a pedestrian connection to the Alec Creek Trailway, but only the sidewalk and a landing were built — no crosswalk or RRFB — leaving people crossing a 35-mph county road with marginal stopping sight distance. The board ordered speed counts before referring it to the county.

What it means: Auden Apartments residents and cyclists using the Alec Creek Trailway.
